Useful service I've been using Speech-to-Speech (STS) is a service that allows people with speech disabilities to make phone calls using their own voice or an assistive device. STS is part of the Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS). Here's how to make an STS call: Dial 711 to reach the relay center Tell the operator you want to make an STS call Provide the number you want to call It's been a lifeline when I require to make important phone calls especially now since my mom is in the ICU and it has been a stressful and challenging time. Making phone calls is most different for me and physically and psychologically drains me. I'm sure many can relate. Some people may consider this a crutch but I consider it such a useful and integral service to alleviate the stress and fear of making phone calls. I hope some of you find this information useful and use the service.
